Preserved Meyer Lemons[4]: A revelation in salty, lemony pure flavor, this is my new favorite condiment and I use it to perk up nearly everything! You must make some, because we’ll be using it in all kinds of things in the coming year. It calls for two ingredients and two weeks. You can do it!

Nutella Ice Cream[11]: (Pictured at the top) See comment above. Dangerously good. You have been warned.

[12]Skillet Granola[13]: Who has time to stand by the oven for an hour baking granola? This is easy, quicker, and has perfectly balanced flavors.

Crispy Ravioli in Cherry Tomato Sauce[14]: I never would have believed you don’t have to boil ravioli, but this pan-crisped version is a revelation, topped with a 4-minute cherry tomato sauce. Summer in a skillet!

[15]Basilrita[16]: This vivacious cocktail won a contest for me. Now my friends in the neighborhood lure their friends by promising “We’re making Basilritas! Come over!”
